Oh yeah, I think the '04's were the only year to not have the WOT throttle restriction the later models have. So if you have an '04, you're faster out of the box than any Titan made since with factory stock tuning.

Interesting. I don't remember hearing that before about no restriction on the WOT on the '04s. I always figured any performance mods were
just nice to have, but not a priority for my usage, and maybe that's why.
I always felt it was kick-azz enough.
I had one axle seal die at 38,000 miles but it was covered by the 60,000 mile power-train warranty. Brakes have been great since the free "permanent fix" about 45K miles ago, and I brake a bunch due to the roads I drive and my driving style ... I prefer to be hard on the brakes and baby the much more expensive transmission. I would almost consider Nissan brakes as replacements, but will most likely get the rotors from FrozenRotors.com and the Hawk pads they carry, (when the time comes).
Overall, my '04 has been great and I will never sell it. As for exploding rear differentials, I think the percentage is probably 0.01% or less. I've used my e-lock plenty of times off roading with no issues, and it was built the first month that the locker became available.
